Kitebrook Matre is a planned artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) landing site in Matredal, Norway, targeting live capacity by Q2 2027. Kitebrook Infra has acquired control of the land, securing a total plot size of 58,353 square meters (approximately 5.8 hectares / 14.4 acres) at Stien.
The planned development features a total building footprint of 11,587 square meters with 3,822 square meters of dedicated data center whitespace. Engineered for high-density GPU clusters, the facility utilizes a zero-emission, generator-free resilience architecture that bypasses traditional diesel backups and chillers. Instead, it pairs direct-access hydroelectric energy from an adjacent 350 MW regional substation with an innovative multi-fjord water-cooling system. The site offers deep-water quay logistics for heavy hardware transport and three diverse fiber routes to serve hyperscale deployments.
The company develops AI-enabled, ready-to-go data center sites across Norway, with all facilities powered by 100% sustainable hydroelectric energy. With offices in both Norway and Washington, D.C., the firm successfully bridges international development expertise with a deeply rooted local presence.
The company's sponsors and leadership team bring a proven track record of over 20 years in the industry, having previously owned DigiPlex, the largest data center operator in the Nordics from 2001 to 2021. By securing land alongside full approvals for power, zoning, and construction, the company delivers shovel-ready sites that offer hyperscalers and AI operators an exceptionally fast speed-to-market advantage.
